Never not sitting like this.
Put This On: The Ramen Noodle Budget: an Introduction
The custom walnut stock on my AK goes great with my bespoke double monks.
I’m glad this is finally up, and Kiyoshi’s my homey and all, but I think he’s wrong about “Good/fast/cheap: pick any 2”. I think there’s a way to get all three. So stay tuned for my “Get a gun, Get stylin” series of articles.
So, it’s finally been published! (Well, at least part one in a series). Took me forever to get around to writing it, but I feel pretty good the way it has turned out.
Thanks to Jesse for inviting me to write this series for Put This On and Derek for the much-needed and always-welcomed editing and revisions.
The series will be published over the next two weeks. I have other ideas that didn’t quite make the cut for this series on this go-around, but definitely expand on the whole Ramen Noodle Budget idea with more detail and depth. We’ll see if something happens with those in the future.
I hope you’ll enjoy it and feedback is always welcome. Thanks!

Enjoy the process of learning. If you could ever get a complete handle over your wardrobe, dressing would become formulaic and boring. … Over time you’ll learn what tie width suits you best, how you like your shoes polished, the proper way for a lapel to roll, and a million other little things that become second nature faster than you’d think. And every time one thing becomes common sense, two new issues will pop up.

This is true whether you maximize or minimize, and a good reminder for me and you.

A great reminder.
I often find it difficult to enjoy the process of learning something new because, whatever skill I’m trying to learn, I want to be good at it instantly. I want to be putting together sharp outfits without having to figure out what works and what doesn’t. There are small pleasures to be had from figuring out little things, like finding a shirt with the right shoulder width or fit in the chest, or taking something to be altered so it fits me better. But even so, what I’m wearing doesn’t match up to what I’m trying to create. Moreover, if I do learn something then, as the quote points out, two more things spring up, so it can feel like I’m not getting anywhere. There’s just a growing realisation of how much I don’t know. I have to remind myself that I dress bettter than I did two years ago and that if I keep at it I will dress better still in another couple of years.
Getting good at anything requires time, and an awful lot of patience.
